National resource mapping in Thailand

In his review of the 1972 National Resources Atlas of Thailand, Larry Sternstein judges the 1969 edition generally easier to read because of its more restrained use of colour and symbols. He highlights its maps of “Electric Generation and Transmission Systems” and “Telecommunications,” both omitted from the 1972 edition, and regards them as vital to development and planning. He also traces the 1969 edition to the atlas volumes published in 1966 and 1968.
